Onshore may also refer to processes that take place on land that are associated with oil, gas or condensate production that has taken place offshore. The offshore production facility delivers oil, gas and condensate by pipelines to the onshore terminal and processing facility.

Order No. 2 - Drilling : This Order provides requirements and standards for drilling and abandonment. 43 CFR 3173, which replaces Order 3 , establishes standards to ensure that oil and gas are properly and securely handled to prevent theft and loss, and to enable accurate measurement and production accountability.

Onshore, when used in relation to hydrocarbons, refers to an oil, natural gas or condensate field that is under the land or to activities or operations carried out in relation to such a field.

The words onshore and offshore have traditionally been used in the sense of oil exploration. Onshore refers to activities of oil exploration that are conducted on land away from the ocean while offshore pertains to oil exploration and rigging under the bed of the ocean.

In the process, oil and gas are moved to the surface through the well bore either through natural means (if the reservoir has enough pressure to push the oil and gas to the surface) or through induced pressure by means of a pump or other mechanism. At the surface, oil, gas, and water are separated.
